Over 30 years of retirement, Scott would collect as much as $1.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Scott received $28,200 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Scott will have already received $117,978 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
